Synopsis

Venera Fanning was last seen falling into nothingness at the end of "Sun of Suns". Now, in "The Queen of Candesce", Venera finds herself plunging through the air among the artificial worlds of Virga, far from home and her husband, who may or may not be alive. Landing in the ancient nation of Spyre, Venera encounters new enemies and new friends (or at least convenient allies). She must quickly learn whom she can trust, and whom she can manipulate. Survival isn't her only goal; with the powerful Key of Candesce in her hands, she can control the fate of the entire world of Virga, yet something even more pressing is driving her - the all-consuming need for revenge.

Revue de presse

"* "With QUEEN OF CANDESCE, Karl Schroeder's Virga saga establishes itself as an SF saga of the same order as LeGuin's Earthsea series, Asimov's Robot stories, and Niven's ringworld series." SFRevu * "Comparable to classic SF epics like John Varley's Gaen trilogy and Jack L. Chalker's Well of Souls series, Schroeder's saga is an awe-inspiring example of masterful world-building.... (A) futuristic epic... to reckon with." Publishers Weekly, starred review" --Publishers Weekly
